I personally believe that drugs don`t make anyone broke, a lack of financial planning does.
I say this because I`m a heavy drug user but always end up spending all my money on electronics, clothes, or events like clubs, museums, etc.
I honestly never understood how someone can lose all their money to drugs. I personally think such people were simply manic and ended up blowing it on everything, drugs included.
I mean even with a heavy tolerance, there`s only so much drugs someone actually needs to get high and physically can take.
No, I think the person is either living in poverty and society blames class inequality on drug abuse, or the person is going through some mental health crisis and doesn`t have any sense... or just plain old live for the day attitude. Still, I think poverty is the problem, drugs the answer, not the other way around.
